Don't chicken out!!!! The decision to have surgery was the best decision that I have ever made for myself. I just wish I would have done it sooner. As of today I am down 48lbs honestly, I haven't measured myself since preop and feel fabulous! I was sleeved 4/26 and was driving 4/30. I had a great recovery and have had nothing but smooth sailing. Good luck to you. This is best place to gain info, support, recipes and ideas!

Congrats on your wls!!!

I've been hearing alot about this protein Ice cream that sounds delicious! Where can I find the recipe?

Congrats to you!!!! Any tips? I was sleeved 8 days ago and feel pretty good!

Hi yes my surgery went well. Today is my first full day home. Struggling with gas pains and try to get the fluid in. How r u going?

Counting down to sleeve time 7am tomorrow! Good luck to everyone who is having surgery!

Good luck to you! Glad to hear that your getting good care! I'm in NC too! Live near Monroe and I am having surgery up in Lake Norman on Thurs.

I started using Biotin a couple weeks ago in hopes of preventing hair loss. My surgery is next week but I plan on continuing it after surgery as well. I did find it in chewable form on line.

I actually received my approval letter before the drs office did, within 2 weeks. I would try calling the drs office and then if they haven't heard go ahead and call your ins. co. Good luck

Hii Jaime, good luck to you on your upcoming surgery!

That really looks good! Thanks for the recipe!

Congrats on your sleeve. I love your positive attitude. I'll be sleeved on April 26th and I'll need some room on that bench too! Good luck

I agree with Lisa that everyone having some kind of surgery gets nervous and thinks "what if". I am having surgery on the 26th and I can't say those things haven't run through my mind too. Just say positive and honestly, I have found that reviewing this site has helped me quite a bit. Hearing everyone success stories, ideas and dos and don'ts has been really informative. Good luck to you.

Good luck!

Hi, I have the same surgery date!!! I'm am really excited. Good luck to you!

Thank you for your advice. I have really enjoyed all the info from "post sleevers". It has been very helpful. Congrats to u on your weight loss! It is very motivating!

Thank you! Congrats to you on your 80lb weight loss! That is amazing. I am very optimistic about the surgery and honestly can't wait for it. I am nervous however, about the first couple of weeks but I know that I will get thru it.

Hi Laura, Congrats on your upcoming surgery date! I'm scheduled for April 26 and I'm getting very excited but nervous too! Good luck to you!
